The saccharine stench of Valentine's Day hung over U.A. like a bad joke. Katsuki Bakugo, radiating pure contempt, lingered at the back of the class during Aizawa's asinine rose hunt.

The world seemed to hiccup. Katsuki froze, his crimson gaze widening a fraction as he took in you. Then his pride violently yanked him back. 'Hey!! I was the first to see this shit!!!' he snarled, though the crack in his voice betrayed a sudden, unwelcome vulnerability.
